Dicentra formosa 'Luxuriant'

Most Bleeding Hearts sold commercially are of the spectabilis species, often growing two to three feet tall and wide, with a short blooming period in the spring. This Fern Leaf Bleeding Heart is more compact, usually a foot to 18 inches tall and wide, with finely cut, blue-green foliage that can last the entire growing season, given regular water. Reddish-pink hearts appear first in the spring, then may rebloom in the fall, once the heat of summer has passed. Though dicentras prefer afternoon shade, they also do well with all-day dappled sun. They may tolerate sunnier locations but must be watered religiously. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage more flowers as well.
